| User ReviewRoland S1970's Hong Kong comedy hits the funny bone many times, but the plot lacks focus. |
| User ReviewAndy WBefore Stephen Chow, there was Michael Hui. Hui was the king of comedy in 70s and 80s Hong Kong and made popular series called "Mr. Boo" (11 films were made in 1974-90). This one's the second one of the series and one of the most memorable one, for the three actors of the Hui Brothers (Michael, Ricky, and Samuel) shows the best team-work. Its original atmosphere and offbeat rhythm are still fresh today. Hui is great at making characters which seem to exist in the reality in HK and extracting funny parts out of daily lives. Anyway, this is surely a monument of HK comedy films. |
